What Pokemon was it? Why was this not announced anywhere?

That's cool, but under what circumstances? Isn't it a bit sad that we get these gamer guys to meet each other only as a consequence of such a weird activity? To me it seems artificial and a bit sad.

It was better when nerds were socially awkwards ugly guys hiding in their mother's basement, amirite?

I heard that this weekend one of this events will be held in Rome at the Colosseum with the collaboration of Pokémon Millennium (the biggest Pokémon website in Italy) and Nintendo themselves !

Can your "real animal" use thunderbolt? Can it evolve into a Mightyena? Can it fit in a Pokeball? Ha! Didn't think so.

No. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still a bit laughable. And now the whole world can see it.

I do think it's cool that a game can have this powerful effect on people, and we're talking people that rufly share the same interest in life as I do, but I still feel that it's a phenomenon that is ridiculous and childish. I'm just stating the obvious. There are two sides to this.

Not really, I think is fantastic that a game is able to make that.

I just wonder... what will happen when this little piece of software launches in my country....
Some people say it will be in 31/07. There´s lots of pokemon fans here.
Some friends are already planning meetings on G+....

When they launch updates with new pokemon and trade between players, this trend will only grow more and more

1) What pokemon was it? Surprised it wasn't mentioned

2) For those being salty, just don't play the game. Jeez. Complaining about something nonstop is a waste of time. It makes you look petty and childish. Just move on.

Dude, you're on a gaming forum and play Elder Scrolls.
